    A pole-mounted four-light signal with flashing yellow arrow for a left turn in Oregon. In the US, Canada, Brazil, Australia and The Netherlands, flashing yellow does not require traffic to stop, but drivers should exercise caution since opposing traffic may enter the intersection after stopping.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]

  5. Dimmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

    A thyristor dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer Solid-state , or semiconductor , dimmers were introduced to solve some of these problems. Semiconductor dimmers switch on at an adjustable time (phase angle) after the start of each alternating-current half-cycle, thereby altering the voltage waveform applied ...

  6. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

    Wireless light switches eliminate the wire from the light to the switch location. This is useful in remodelling situations where new wiring can be a hassle. Rather than tearing down a wall to gain access to the wires, a wireless switch can be used. This avoids any need to access wires and makes remodelling fast and simple.

  9. Non-dim circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dim_circuit

    Many modern computerized lighting systems allow a dimmer to be set as "non-dim" and controlled using the Lighting control console, however, this can be less desirable than using a "true" switched circuit, as the Triac in the dimmer never truly supplies a "proper" sine wave, which can cause damage to equipment.
